The UniYersity Paner.

The societies of the University
have decided to issue University
paper, the first issue to appear about
the 10Th and to continue it regular
ly hereafter. 1t is a matter we have
often suggested to the boys and it will
be of especial benefit to the Univer-
sity, to all its friends and former
students, and will be an excellent
experience for students who are fit
ting themselves to enter the field of
journalism. The paper will be neat
~ printed and will be edited by the
two societies. The New DOMINION
predicts for the new paper a useful
and honorable career. The sub
scription price will be $1.00 per year.
Success to it.

The evidence adduced was purely
circumstantial and was such as to
create strong belief that while the
prisoners did not, perhaps, actually
commit the bloody deed, yet they
knew who did do it and were acces-

that a much stronger case was made
out against Neff than Clark, although
the latter nearly succeeded in PROV

Neff was admitted to bail. His
bond was fixed at $4,000. The nee

Of "NeW Dominion Readers.

"Since the Pennsylvania act re-
curing dentists who practice in that
state to register, stand an examina-
ton and pay fee of $50 for it, am
in favor of enforcing our own law
against outsiders. If resident prac-
titioners of our State are required to
pay such a tax and go through so
much red tape, before they are al
lowed to practice in Pennsylvania,
why should we not exact as much
from those who come from that
state| said DR.. Geo. B. Morris.

"Did you notice the comments of
a prominent business man in our
last ISSUE" queried one of our scribes
Of the Mayor.
"Yes did," he replied, "and you
may say this for the benefit of the
prominent business man, that he has
signally failed to discharge his duty
as citizen if he knows of violations
of law; and has made no complaint
or information except to rush into
print with some comments that
would lead one who is not acquaint-
ed with our town to believe that
drunken men are lying around like
a flock of sheep that had eaten lau-
rel.
"On his own statement, he saws
he stumbled over a drunk man, but
yet he withholds any information
that would enable the officers to con
vict the man for being drunk on the
streets.
'He evidently wants the liquor
seller and not liquor drinker punish
ed But the law of this town pro-
vides for the punishment of both,
and he withholds information to en-
able a man to escape who has violat-
ed the law by being drunk on the
streets, and at the same time com
plains that other men withhold in
formation as to violations of law in
other respects. Is this consistent?
"Please say for the benefit of your
prominent business man, that the
Mayor of this town at all times
stands ready to discharge his whole
duty as to all violations Of law, but |
he proposes to do so in legal man
ner. He does not propose to organ
ize himself into a detective agency
or special police force in order to fer
ret out violations of law. The
Mayor can only impose fine upon
proof of the offense. He does uot
propose to fine men upon mere spec
ulation or suspicion and have his
judgment reversed and criticised on
the first case that may be tried on
an appeal"
